Archives for December 2012

I’ve got an awesome head cold going on here so my day is consisting of
laying on our couch snuggling with these furry cuties for the rest of the day.
Of course football is on and I promised the hubs
that I’d make him Chili Con Queso to snack on while we watch games
so he’s out getting the ingredients for me so I don’t have to get off the couch! 😉
Excited to make it for him though… Such a sweetie!
My sweet lil dogs keep nuzzling up to my belly and licking it… They love that baby in there already
and it is so so sweet! Such a blessing!!
Happy Saturday, friends… Hope y’all are having an amazing day!

This is truly one of my favorite breakfast treats of all time… Cold snowy Utah weekend mornings and the smell of these in the oven had me jumping for joy! I don’t think I’ve had a better gooey goodness for breakfast than these yummy pull aparts! I’ve been asked for years for this secret handed down recipe and I’m finally ready to share… Must be the joy of this pregnancy and the season of giving that’s got me in such a mood! 😉 Hope you all enjoy these treats as much as my family does!

DIRECTIONS:
Grease a bunt pan with crisco
Arrange 25 Rhodes Rolls inside
Sprinkle 1/2 packet of butterscotch pudding on top of the frozen rolls and let rise for 1 hour
Melt the butter and brown sugar in a saucepan until melted, combines and bubbling and then pour the mixture over the rolls.
Cover tightly and place in refrigerator overnight.
Let it sit out at room temperature for 1 hour before baking.
350 degrees for 30 minutes
Turn into a large bowl so the yummy gooey goodness all drips out and serve immediately! 🙂

I love baby showers and all of the cuteness and fun that comes with them! There are so many great ideas and expressions while planning any party and since I will be having a shower of my own in a few months… Naturally, I had to check out all of the new and fun ideas out there! And besides that, I love hosting parties for people and love putting together all of the intricate details that come along with them! Pure cuteness! <3

Winter is the perfect time for a hot cup of cocoa… Sitting around the fire this morning with stockings hung, and the excitement and giggles of our children, I am so excited to make some sweet, warm chocolatey goodness! As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program, I created a yummy hot drink featuring Sweet’N Low.

This recipe is so simple you’ll love it! I already had the ingredients on hand and the sweetness that the Sweet’N Low brings without the guilt of sugar makes it that much better! It’s sure to be a hit in your home, and you can adjust the chocolate and sweetness to your liking.

I love using Sweet’N Low during pregnancy because I try to watch my sugar intake to not gain an unhealthy amount of weight.

My bloggy friend, Erin, made the most adorable Christmas Wreath Cupcakes EVER and so I just had to ask her if I could share with you… Check out her adorable site at Currently Coveting… This recipe and photos are taken from her site. You’ll find tons of cute fashions posts and delicious and fun recipes. Enjoy!

Wreath
When I have to dye my own icings those non-pastel hues I end up having to use so much dye and it gets a bit runny so I cheated a little and bought the red and green Cake Mateicings with this four pack of icing tips. I used the starred one for the green wreath part and the small circle one for the red bow. I threw on some sprinkles but they kinda went all over the cupcake so you can leave that part off if you don’t dig it.

Not sure why I’m feeling compelled to write this morning, but I do. I had a frustrating situation this morning that left me super annoyed and on top of that I thought it was Wednesday so I frantically ripped all of the sheets off the beds and threw them in the wash to get […]

It’s been awhile, once again, but man has life been crazy busy lately. I know it won’t be slowing down, but I’m soaking it all in and thankful for these 4 babes of ours that keep me on my toes! Life is more full than I have ever known it, and I’m doing my best […]

Hiiiiiii!!!! It’s been WAAAAAYYYYY too long since my last post and I really really miss you all and my little corner of this world wide web! I miss this space and the community it has brought me. I miss sitting down and writing and sharing recipes! I never knew exactly how busy life would be […]

Omigosh I LOVE this song and have had it on constantly lately! So grateful I serve a good Father who is ALWAYS there in those moments that I so desperately need Him whether I am seeking Him or not… It brings such a peace over my soul knowing that I am so dearly and deeply […]
